I would use an Antennas Direct DB4e. Use a beginning aim point of about 105° compass. the wide beam-width of the DB4e should allow you to see Boston and Providence signals.

There are also several High-VHF signals available. I'd point an Antennacraft Y10713 at 115°, expect to get real CH-12 & 13, hoping for real CH-10 as well.

If you mount both antennas on the same mast, the UHF goes above the VHF antenna. At least 3' of separation between the antennas, more is better.

Combine the two antennas with a UVSJ followed by an Antennas Direct CPA-19 preamp.

3starinc.com has a complete selection of mounting hardware.

This should easily drive two TV's.

Here are a connection options when installing a remotely powered preamp in a system equipped with a splitter:

And splitters that will work in this type of system: http://www.antennasdirect.com/store/splitters.html
